A few years back I stayed at the Hard Rock (Michigan & Wacker) and took the water taxi from the Wrigley building to the Ogilive/Union dock, and the train to the track - worked out perfectly

It's a decent walk to the train station but certainly doable about 2 miles? What's also nice is Metra (drops you right at AP) will charge $7/ticket for a w/e pass and it's good probably the 3,4 and 5th but 4rth and 5th (Sat and Sun) for sure. They will ban alcohol on trains for the w/e.

Arlington always has a fantastic card on the 4th and the city will be rockin' for sure!
